The Surgery CARE Network is committed to ensuring the patient voice is meaningfully integrated into decision-making processes that impact surgical care. Patient partners bring lived experience, offering unique insights into the quality, safety, and accessibility of surgical services. Their involvement helps the committee stay grounded in patient-centered values, promotes transparency, and fosters trust between healthcare providers and the community.
Patient partner presence on the CARE Network will improve care outcomes, identify opportunities for system improvement from the patient perspective, and co-develop strategies that reflect the needs and priorities of those receiving care. The CARE network activities include development and implementation of region wide policies, safety reviews, and quality improvement projects, most recently the Surgical Safety Checklist.
